20x200Artists Todd St. John

Todd St. John is an artist, designer and filmmaker living in New York City.

He grew up on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. His work consistently spans across many different mediums, including drawing, sculpture, photography, printmaking and animation. He often explores natural forms and their repurposing or distortion through unexpected modes of representation.

St. John produces both commercial and experimental through HunterGatherer, the studio/workshop that he founded in 2000. He has created animations, illustrations and graphics for everyone from MTV to Money Mark to The New York Times. In 1994, while living in California, St. John co-founded the graphic T-shirt label Green Lady with Gary Benzel. Nylon Magazine described Green Lady as "to the designer T-shirt world what RunDMC is to hip-hop".

St. John regularly has work published, broadcast and exhibited internationally, and was included in the 2003 Cooper-Hewitt National Design Triennial. He teaches as a graduate critic at the Yale School of Art.
